Usage

as.bigq(n, d = 1)
as.character.bigq(a,b=10)
as.double.bigq(x,...)
as.bigz.bigq(a,mod=NA)
is.na.bigq(a)
print.bigq(x,...)
denominator(x)
numerator(x)

Arguments

a,n,d

Either integer, numeric or string value (String value: ither starting with 0x for hexadecimal, 0b for binary or without prefix for decimal values. Any format error results in 0)

mod

Examples

x <- as.bigq(21,6)
x
# 7 / 2
# Wow ! result is simplify.

y <- as.bigq(5,3)

# addition work !
x + y

# You can even try multiplication, division...
x * y / 13 

# convert to string, double
as.character(x)
as.double(x)
